Dwarf Fortress: Update1

The fortress that I started Tuesday has taken off. It is situated in a area full of resources, and I have taken advantage of said resources as I plunged into the ground. The plentiful trees and magnetite allowed me early game iron goods which I traded away for massive food stores. The huge ammount of food at my disposal has allowed me to focus on expanding my fortress and searching for rare minerals.
Today, after losing a dwarf to insanity, I delved down into an underground cavern. I have begun to extract all the minerals form the cavern and process them as well as planting a subterranean farm.
The fortress thrives with 121 dwarves, a total food store of 6030, and has generated a wealth of 158912 dwarf moneys.
I have a large stock of animals, allowing me to slaughter them at will since I have a decent breeding stock to replenish any killed off. Currently on the menu: puppies.
